Death of Mrs. W. S. Rouse 


* The death of Mrs. W. 8. Rouse 
occurred at a Calgary hospital last 
Monday after a long illness. Klie 
was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
Robert Gurley of Goslion, Utah. 
Mr. and Mrs. Rouse, old-timers 
here, moved to Raymond 27 years 
ago. They have been prominent¬ 
ly associated with the ranching in¬ 
dustry, and were well known and 
highly respected in this commun¬ 
ity. 


The Jacks are again basketball 
champions of Alberta as a result 
of the game here last Saturday 
when they heat the Edmonton Y. 
M. C. A. with a score of -10—22. 

The big margin came somewhat 
as u surprise to local fans when 
the result at Edmonton, 11 —34 in 
favor of I lie northerners, is consid¬ 
ered? 

After the first five minutes of 
play it was clearly evident that 
the Edmonton hoys would be whip 
ped off their feet, before the game 
was finished. The determined and 
somewhat rough tactics of the 
Tacks was too much for the Y 
Boys and as a result the Jacks had 
possession of the hall at least 75 
per cent of the time. 

The Jacks are now arranging to 
play the Vancouver Varsity team 
here. The dates will probably he 
known before this sheet goes to 
press. If the Jacks win this fix¬ 
ture thjy will play off with Win- 
fiijieg, the winners to meet the On 
tario champions for the Dominion 
championship.

Well, folks, they may quaran 
tine us but they can.t stop us from 
having a friendly chat about pic¬ 
tures, even though they prohibit 
us from showing them. So let’s 
-lit hack for a while and cot item 
(date the splendid times we’ll have 
after the quarantine is over. 

To l>egiii with, whenevei the 
drtfeio arrives, i have planned 
to screen one of the biggest pic¬ 
tures it has ever been my good for¬ 
tune to hook. It’s name is—no. 

I won’t divulge the title just yet. 
It’s to be a big surprise. So foi 
the present let it he, liki the date, 
unknown. 

Just about the time you read 
this the kids vaccinations w ill he 
gin to itoll. But they are itching 
no more tintn 1 am to light n| 
the old Rex Theatre once again 
I hope you feel the same ns I 
do. Seluh! 

1 once heard of a Scotchman 
who took off his hut whenever lie 
passed the Bank of Montreal 
His feeling for that great insti 
Lotion was akin to what I sense 
whenever I think of some of the 
pictures I have coining. 

They arc big pictures- and ex¬ 
pensive— the resources of tin 
Bank of Montreal would not pay 
for making so very many of 
them at that. To these pictures 
I take off my lint. They are 
the product of what nil recent in 
veiitions in that line can give. 

Is there any value to pictures 
besides the entertainment value 
they give? At onoe, probably, 
you answer, NO. Vet consider 
the news reels. Aren’t they good? 

I 

Don’t they give you a broader 
vision? A wider outlook? An 
idea of wliat is actually going on 
in other parts of the world? 
Aren’t they educational? Of 
course they are! 'Then haven’t 
pictures a value besides enter¬ 
tainment? And even in the story 
films—you see scenes you have 
never seen before. As an instance, 
a short time ago the feature pic 
tured the aotual Yale-Harvard 
boat race. You may have never 
seen this big event, but it you 
saw this picture you will have 
a fair idea of what it looks like. 

Well, as the Irish jokeiuakcr 
said when he visited Ireland, its 
time I was leaving off.

Pitting the years that have elapsed since the war, unemployment condi¬ 
tions ui Groat Hritnin have been the subject of much discussion, and in no 
country ha., greater attention been paid to them than in the (Tutted States. 
Scores of writers across the line have professed to see in the British ritual ion, 
with its large army of the unemployed, the dole system, and the float strikes 
and general industrial upheaval and labor unrest, the beginning of the end for 
Great Britain in its world leadership in iinanee, manufacturing, shipping and 
commerce. 

But the Old Land has weathered the many severe storms with remark¬ 
able success, has steadily increased employment, re-established its great 
industries on a peace-time basis, balanced its budget, and is paying oft' its 
huge national debt Its position at home and abroad continues to improve 
from year to year. 

Canada, too, had a hard struggle in the years immediately following the 
war, though nothing like what Great Britain experienced. Nevertheless, lor a 
number of years business in Canada was depressed and there was a consid¬ 
erable volume of unemployed. At the same time business conditions in the 
United States were brisk, employment plentiful, production wus proceeding 
at top speed, wages were high, and the whole world was paying linanctal trib¬ 
ute to it as an outcome oi the war. As a result thousands of Canadians emi¬ 
grated to the States, and throughout this l>ominion some sharp contrast* were 
diawn between conditions here and to the south, always to the disadvantage 
of Canada. 

With n the hist year or two a marked change has taken place, and today 
there is more unemployment in the United States both in the aggregate and in 
] t« portion to population than there is in either Canada or Great Britain. In 
fact, the situation in the United States is becoming so serious as to call for 
most serious consideration by Congress and the various State Governments. 

The Department of Labor at Washington estimates there are four mil¬ 
lion people out of work at present, and the Industrial Commissioner of New 
leports 500,000 not of work in that State alone. Conditions of employment in 
New York State are officially stated to be the worst since 1921, while Senator 
Copeland declares there are more people out of work in New York City than 
at any time since 1911. 

Contrasting the United States with Great Britain, it is seen that New 
York State alone has half ih many unemployed as the United Kingdom des¬ 
pite the fact that the latter has four times the population. Or taking the wliole 
United States with two and one-half times the population of the United King¬ 
dom, it is seen there is four times the number of unemployed in the Slates 
that there are in Great Britain. 

While unemployment has been increasing in the United Stales in recent 
years until it has now reached a point where the National City Bank of New 
York reports 500,000 out of work in that State alone. Conditions of employ¬ 
ment in New York State are otlicially stated to be the worst since 1921, 
while Senator Copeland declares there are more people out of work in New 
York C- 1 ty Hum ill imy time since I9H. 

of this year are still higher than for the corresponding months a year ago. 
Drospects for a continuance of this satisfactory condition are of the brightest. 

It seems to make no difference what branch of Cunadian activity is 
analysed, general improvement is to be noted. The trade of the Dominion Is 
expanding year by year, and in tills connection the gratifying fact is noted 
that the increase in imports is largely accounted for by commodities not in¬ 
digenous to Canada and were imported for use in Canadian industry. In 
building construction the value of contracts awarded has risen from 5276,000,- 
000 in 1024 to $298,000,000 in 1925, to $572,000,000 in 1926, and to Ml.9,000,-

Cold Shipped To New lurk 
By Soviets 

Twenty crimson casks containing 
$5,201,000 in Russian gold were in¬ 
volved in a complicated legal mess 
with ownership at issue. .Suit was 
filed by the Bank of France in the 
federal court in New York to recover 
the gold bars which are now held by 
the Equitable Trust Co., and the 
Chase National Bank. It was based 
on the assertion that the metal was 
stolen from the vaults of Die state 
bank of the Russian Empire after the 
Bolshevists revolution. 

The legal aspect was complicated 
by the fact that United States courts 
have ruled that the Soviet can nei¬ 
ther sue nor be sued since it is not 
recognized by the United States as 
being legally an entity. The gold 
was sent to New York from Russia 
lust month to facilitate handling of 
trading between America and Russia 
When it was presented for assay, the 
treasury department refused to ic- 
ceive it unless Die two New York 
banks would guarantee title to it.

Canada's Copper Industry 

Dominion Rapidly Climbing To Third 
Place In Production 

That within the next 10 years Can¬ 
ada will become the world’s third 
largest producer of copper, being then 
surpassed in this field only by the 
U.S. and Chile, was tho prediction 
marie by Sydney J. Cook, chief of the 
mining, metallurgical and chemical 
branch. Dominion Bureau of Statis¬ 
tics, Ottawa, during an address on 
Canada's future in copper, given at 
tire annual general meeting of the 
Canadian Institute of Mining . 
Metallurgy in Quebec. 

Mr. Cooke said that although C 
ada now produces only about five 
cent, of the world's output of copper

many 

years, according to C. <3. Cowan, op¬ 
erator of some of the largest ranches 
in the Cariboo, Including those own¬ 
ed by the Marquis of Exeter, Lord 
Egerton of Tatton, and the Cariboo 
Trading Company. 

Ever since the boom years of the 
war British Columbia’s cattle busi¬ 
ness has languished. The provinces 
enormous e produc tive capacity bene¬ 
fit ted beef-raisers very little as there 
was practically no competition in the 
selling market. Now, however, Mr. 
Cowan states, the situation is entirely 
changed. Competition lias come for 
B.C. cattle and has come to stay. 

The upward trend in market con¬ 
ditions will result in large expendi¬ 
tures on ranch improvements. Sev¬ 
eral thousand additional head of c.at- 
tlc will be brought in, and as a side¬ 
line, 3,000 hend of sheep will be Im¬ 
ported by Mr. Cowan alone from the 
ranges of Oregon. Irrigation ditches 
will be built on many of the larger 
ranches to provide greater facilities 
for feed production. 


Bike Ore, sweet clover is a good 
friend but a bad master. After a 
hectic career of nbout 15 years it 
has risen from u place of universal 
condemnation as a dangerous weed, 
to one of the most popular crops In 
the country with many men, on snn- 1 
dy land particularly, making a for-1 
tune out of its seed. Even at ten 1 
dollars nnd more a bushel It was 
planted widely all over Eastern Can¬ 
ada nnd made much headway In the 
West. Then a few years nftcr tho war 
the defects of sweet clover began to 
show up nnd it sank in popular es¬ 
teem until today the markets arc 
loaded with seed nnd farmers cannot 
get more than two dollars a bushel ( 
for It. 

Go into any of the five Dominion 
Government Seed laboratories, ecat- 
tcred across the Dominion, and you 
will find that sweet clover pollutes 
most samples of other clover end al¬ 
falfa. Seedsmen will tell you that 
scores of good red clover, nlsike, and 
alfalfa seed producing districts have 
been ruined by this weed, because it 
Is a weed when growing with other 
crops, which comes up with the other 
clover, goes to seed at the same time, 
and because the seed of sweet clover 
is about the same size and weight as 
that of the others it is very difficult 
and sometimes impossible to separate 
It. Moreover, although once widely 
boomed as a hay crop, it is now gen¬ 
erally admitted that red clover or al¬ 
falfa is a much better plant lor this 
use. ' v 

But again, like fire, sweet clover 
has a very real place In Canadian 
agriculture, if it is handled proper¬ 
ly. At the Government experimental 
farms there is no trouble with sweet 
clover, because it is kept under con¬ 
trol. Even in seed producing districts 
it can be grown, though the big seed 
buyers warn growers aguinst the 
risk. As fertilizer, silage, summer 
pasture and weed smothcrer, sweet 
clover has a very real place, and on 
account of its qualities in these re¬ 
spects, it will probably always be 
grown in Canada, although no ono 
expects to see big prices for seed 
again. There is no market for sweet 

clover in Uurupa and boinu n kiln 

yielder of seed and so widely planted 
both here and in United States, there 
is no possible chance of a recurrence 
of the boom period, and for the sake 
of the good qualities of the plant, it 
is well that these days do not recur. 
When seed prices for it were soaring 
the crop was planted everywhere be¬ 
fore it was understood and the reac¬ 
tion which followed the appearance 
of its defects more than offset the ad¬ 
vantage of its recent popularity. 

But the secret of growing sweet 
clover is to prevent it from going to 
seed. Too much emphasis cannot be 
laid on this point. It must be sown 
early and cut before it commences to 
go to seed. If used for posture it 
must be kept grazed closely or the 
stock will turn to something else and 
the clover will go to seed coining up 
In other crops later on as a weed. It 
must be scarified before sowing so 
that every seed will germinate or else 
some of the harder seeds will lie over 
one, two or even more seasons ger¬ 
minating later and polluting the crop 
coming on then. In special seed grow¬ 
ing sections, such as Peel County, 
where alfalfa is a major crop, or in

H.B. Railway Possibilities 


Trying To Collect Back Taxes 


Coast Lino Of Hudson Bay Greater 
Than That Of Canadian 
Coast Lino 

Few people realize the immensity 
of the tei ritory which will be opened 
up for development with the comple¬ 
tion of the Hudson’s Bay Iiailwny. 
The shore line of the Bay itself for 
example, is greater than that of the 
Canadian Atlantic coast line. 

With a coast line of these propor¬ 
tions tiic contiguous country, at pres¬ 
ent burely scratched by those pion- j 
eers of commerce, the surveyor nnd 
the prospector, should be large enough 
to yield a good business for a new 
railway line, apart from through 
shipment of wheat and perhaps live- ! 
stock for export trade. Fur, fish, min¬ 
erals, pulpwood and agricultural pro¬ 
duce all or any of these may be 
available in sufficient quantity to 
make the new line pay its way in a 
very short time without the heuvier 
traffic for which tho line is being 
primarily built primarily, at leust, 
from the viewpoint of the Western 
Canadian farmer. 

The potentialities of the Hudson’s 
Bay Railway are greater than per- 
, tmi>B even the most discerning can 
yet see.— Saskatchewan Farmer. 


Almond Industry Profitable 


Federal Government Claims Arrears 
From Western W heat Fools 

The controversy between the Fed¬ 
eral Income Tax Department of Ot¬ 
tawa and the Western Wheat Fool, i 
may result in amount aggregating 
millions of dollars, being collected by 
the Treasury for arrears In tax pay¬ 
ments. 

Tho point at issue is whether or not 
the two or three cents per bushel 
which the pools deduct, for the pur¬ 
pose of building elevators, from all 
grain handled should be treated ns 
taxable income. 

The Federal Department claims 
these are taxable, and is demanding 
that the pools pay up for all collec¬ 
tions made since their inception. 
Many millions of dollars have been 
collected by the pools in this manner, 
nnd the latter have never show n these 
deductions as taxable income. 

There are 4,400 country grain ele¬ 
vators in Western Canada, one-fifth 
of which arc ow’ned or controlled by

crop of the island of Majorca, where 
many varieties are cultivated, and the 
industry is so prosperous that as old 
olive trees die they are replaced by 
almonds. 

When the almonds are almost ripe 
they arc knocked off the branches by 
long bamboo poles and then picked up 
by women and children. The nuts nre 
separated from the husks after dry¬ 
ing, and the shells nre then broken by 
band or machinery and the kernels 
extracted.

Farmers Account Book 


A Useful 


Little Account Book For 
Fdrraers 

Farm surveys have shown that 
very few farmers follow’ a systematic 
method of farm accounting. This 
may, in the past, have been due to a 
luck ot uuilublo simple forma or ac¬ 
count books for the purpose. There 
are today a number of simple books 
issued which are a great help to the 
farmer in this important matter. 
Farming is a business, and if it does 
not pay the farmer should know why 
it does not pay. Some record of re¬ 
ceipts and expenses, together with an 
inventory’ (a list with values of live¬ 
stock, feed, implements, etc., on 
hand), taken at tho beginning and 
the end of the farmers’ year, must be 
kept if he is to find out why it doesn’t 
pay. Keep a record of each depart¬ 
ment of your farm business. Find out 
how much you are making from each, 
and if any arc not paying. 

A simple and yet very useful little 
account book for farmers has been 
issued by the Dominion experimental 
farms. This may be procured from 
the publications branch, department 
of agriculture, Ottuwa, for the nom¬ 
inal charge of ten cents. This little 
book while simple, is a great ptep in 
advance of keeping no accounts 
whatever. Now is a good time to take 
an inventory and start keeping ac¬ 
counts.

and his teacher had said that unless 
he worked harder he would not bo 
moved up at the end of the year. 

“ You must try harder," she told 
him, "or you won’t pass. And if you 
have to stay here another term you’ll

ARE PALE PEOPLE WELL? 



From time immemorial it has been 
recognized that babies thrive best 
when breast-fed, and it is the ambi¬ 
tion of every mother to nurse her 
baby. But since it frequently hap¬ 
pens that this is not practicable for 
one reason or another, the young 
mother looks about most anxiously 
for that food which will best take the 
place of the natural food which is 
not obtainable. It is essential that 
the food used should be absolutely 
pure, that it should contain all the' 
necessary elements of nourishment i 
for the child, and finally that, it 
should be easily digestible. For three 
' generations Borden’s TCaglr Brand 1 
Condensed Milk has been the stand¬ 
by of mothers who have been unable 
to nurse their babies. It is a leading 
infants’ food, more Eagle Brand be¬ 
ing used than the combined total of 
all others. It measures up to the re¬ 
quirements of the infants perfectly, 
and nearly all babies thrive on it from 
the first feeding.

Hen (lull* Are Fed Every Pay By 

f (Iward Miller 

Edward Miller is Vancouver’s Jack 
Miner. 'Hie Central School grounds 
in the heart of the business district 
are the scene of hi* activity and there 
he may be seen any day from Octo¬ 
ber to the end of March feeding from 
40 to 50 seagulls. 

For six months annually during 
the Inst five years Miller has enter¬ 
tained n flock of these birds to lunch, 
some of the same gulls coming back 
each year and bringing younger 
birds with them. At noon the lender 
perches on the school flag-pole while 
his flock finds a vantage point in near¬ 
by office buildings until the signal is 
given for feeding. 

The 1.15 o’clock school bell is the 
dinner gong for the seagulls, an¬ 
nouncing that lunch is coming up. In 
five or ten minutes the 71-year-old 
host, with his large basin of bread, 
appears on the scene and the leader 
calls his flock. 

Pupils who take their lunch to 
school co-operate with Miller, who is 
the school caretnker, and deposit their 
left-overs in a sack. They are mixed 
with bread purchased for the purpose 
by Mrs. Miller, and a square meal of 
half a hundred seagulls is the result. 

When the summer tourist lwats 
start, the luncheon guests desert their 
winter host. 


Britain Will Never Be Motorized 
Like U.S. On Basis Of 
Population 

Sir William Letts, past president of 
the Society of Motor Manufacturers 
and Traders of Great Britain, when 
asked if he thought the people of 
Great Britain would ever be as mo¬ 
torized ns tlie people of the United 
States, on basis of population, and if 
so, when, replied immediately with 
an unequivocal and emphatic " No.” 

Then came the inevitable ' Why? ” 

"Because of relative distances nnd 
road mileages. A motor vehicle to 
every family in the Motherland would 
congest our roads to the paralytic 
point—to saturation as they would 
say over there.” 

England. Scotland and Wales cov¬ 
er an area of 88,745 square miles, or 
about onc-thirty-fifth the size of the 
United States. They boast 2,000,000 
motor vehicles, one-tenth the number 
in the United States. Thus the num¬ 
ber of automobiles per square mile is 
far greater in Great Britain than in 
the American Republic. The total 
road mileage In Great Britain is 178,- 
000 miles while that in the United 
States is over three million miles. 
In the motherland there are two 
miles of road to every square mile 
of area. In the United States there 
is less than a mile of loud to every 
square mile of area. 

The result is that the 2.000,000 
automobiles scooting over the 178,000 
miles of road in Great Britain are 
more congested than the 20,000,000 
motor cars on the 3,000.000 miles of 
road in the United States. Most of 
the cars in Great Britain, os in the 
United States, congregate on a small 
proportion of this road mileage, 
which makes the problem of traffic 
congestion so much the more diffi¬ 
cult. 


Britain Imports Millions But 
Only Small Percentage 
From Canada 

The hen may rank among the 
humblest of our farm stock, re- 
maiks the Imperial Economip Com¬ 
mittee, but it is a striking fact that 
In 1925 and again In 1920 the United 
Kingdom's imports of poultry pro¬ 
ducts exceeded in value nil the ex¬ 
ports of motor cars, motorcycles, 
cycles, nnd rubber tires. The United 
Kingdom imports annually about 5,- 
700 million eggs. Out of every 1,000 
eggs utilized in 1925, 540 were of 
Empire origin, distributed thus: 433 
produced.in the United Kingdom; 95 
from the Irish Free State; 5 each 
from Canada and South Africa, and 3 
from Australia. It Is plain that there 
is a market in that country for more 
Canadian eggs especially oa out of 
460 of foreign origin 13S came from 
China. We turn up our noses at Chin¬ 
ese eggs, especially when iney come 
in bulk, nnd in time the British peo¬ 
ple could be educated to do the same. 

The share of the Empire overseas 
in the supply of eggs nnd poultry to 
the United Kingdom is but small com¬ 
pared with the imports from foreign 
countries. About 20 per cent, of tho 
imports of eggs and 31 per cent, of 
those of poultry come from the Irish 
Free State, but all the other parts of 
the Empire contribute only 3 per cent, 
of the table poultry. " It is therefore 
evident,” says the committee, "that 
there is room for voluntary prefer¬ 
ence in fhvor of Empire eggs and 
poultry.” Moreover the rate of con¬ 
sumption of eggs per head of popula¬ 
tion is given as follows: Canada, 337; 
Belgium, 213; United States, 180; 
France, 133; and Great Britain only 
125.

Getting Ready To

Plant Strawberries 


Operation Should He Carried Out 
Kurly In the Spring 

When strawberries are planted in 
the spring the operation should b« 
carried out just as soon as the soil 
is dry enough to work. The later 
plunting is left, the less are the 
chances of success. In a bulletin on 
the ” Cultivation Of the Strawberry,” 
av&ilb&le at the Publications Branch, 
Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, 

the ncccaaity of having I He soil in 

flint cIiuih condition before commenc¬ 
ing planting is emphasized. After the 
disk and levelling harrows nave been 
passed over light loamy soils it w'ill 
be sufficient to roll the land beforo 
marking, but if the soil is at all in¬ 
clined to lumpiness, it is a good prac¬ 
tice to go over it with a pl&nker be¬ 
fore marking. Too much stress cannot 
be laid on the importance of prevent¬ 
ing drying out of the roots beforo 
planting .The strawberry plants are 
very subject to heating and if left in 
the bundle for a few days the roots 
are likely to die from this cause. 
When received, the plants should be

Marketing Commission Makes

Co-operative marketing is the first 
of eight measures recommended by 
the Saskatchewan Overseas Live 
Stock Marketing Commission to the 
Legislature of Saskatchewan. The 
Commission was appointed early in 
1927 by the Saskatchewan Agricul¬ 
tural Research Foundation and direct¬ 
ed to make an investigation relative 
to the marketing of Canadian Live 
Stock in Great Britfiin and to study 
co-operative bacon factories in Eng- 
land, Ireland and Denmark. The 
Commission was made up of live men 
who investigated conditions in the 
countries named and also in Boland, 
Germany and Holland. 

The creation in Canada of a de¬ 
partment or bureau of agricultural 
economics In study data on market¬ 
ing and other problems is also recom¬ 
mended by the commission.

Robinson Crusoe and his man Fri¬

island. A recent survey of Juan Fer¬ 
nandez Island, on which Alexander 
Selkirk, the original Robinson Crusoe, 
spent four years, proves it to be a 
veritable paradise. 

The report Bays It is one of the 
most fruitful spots in South America 
with every imaginable sort of plant 
growing there. A Frenchman, ship¬ 
wrecked on the island some 40 years 
ago, has refused to leave because of 
the case with which he has been able

to try to make trouble. You have no 
claim on him remember that -and 
he’s gone away, I hear, for good. 
You’d better go straight back to this 
Home that you ran away from. No 
doubt they will help you through 
ngaiu. I understand many of the girls 
come back t\Vb and three times. Jn 
fact,” he said turning to his friend, 
" that is one great objection to those 
Rescue Homes they make things 
far too easy for girls of this class.” 

Ilelml was staring past them va¬ 
cantly. The pallor of her face was 
deepening. 

“ Now, look here,” said the magis¬ 
trate, sharply, “no tricks, no faints. 
You’io tin old baud at ulUtouRh 

you are not old in years, and you 
can’t make me believe you arc an in¬ 
nocent young thing, who has been 
deeply wronged. You’re well able to 
look after yourself.” 

Ilelmi rose uncertainly. She reach¬ 
ed out her hand lor the certificate she 
had given him. 

“ This is no good,” he said, “ you 
may as well leave it here.” 

’’Give it to me,” cried Ilelml, with 
some of her old fury, snatching it 
from his hand. 

“ Take it then, you tiger,” he said 
angrily. “It’s no good to you. Take it 
and get out of here! I am not running 
a Girls’ Friendly Home here.” 

Ilelmi opened her purse to replace 
the paper, and as she did so a card 
dropped out. She stooped and picked 
it up. It was a White card bordered 
with muple leaves, and in the cen¬ 
tre were printed these words: “ Wel¬ 
come to Canada! ” 

The sight of the card brought Ilel¬ 
mi back to llie night she had got it. 
It was her place-card the night the 
girls gave her the party. They were 
good to her and would be sorry for 
all this trouble which had come to 
her. This man who had caused her so 
much harm would suffer for it. Can¬ 
ada was all right. God was all right. 
This man was a devil. In a moment 
all her faintness was gone, succeeded 
by burning rage. 

The two men watched her uneasily. 
There was something terrible in her 
anger. She walked over to the table 
and stood in front of Col. Blackwood. 
“ You are u bad man,” she said, “ A 
devil an old dirty, drunken devil. 1 
hate you, and 1 will kill you. If my

CHAPTER XXI. 

Dead gardens, littered with stocks 
from which the life had fled and the 
bright blooms had departed, with ull 
the sadness of the silent places where 
throbbing life had been, hummockod 
over the newly earthed graves where 
the potatoes and turnips now lie bur¬ 
ied; dead llelds cleared out, sfwept 
cleun nnd tidied away like the house 
of trouble where the neighbors gath¬ 
er and do tills sad service for the one 
who is gone; leaden stubble whose 
golden hue was faded now to match 
the lowering sky; leafless trees that 
draw together moaning and complain¬ 
ing like toothless old women whose 
children Jmvc all forgotten them; no 
birds at nil except the little graybirds 
who sing no song and whose coats 
are the color of dust; the rose-haws 
gone, driven out by the scouring 
winds of December that foam with 
rage at any spot of brightness; weary 
winds that rage all day and moan at 
night as if they had repented of their 
evil ways, but whose sorrow is only 
for the works of destruction which 
they were not able to accomplish. The 
harvest past, the summer gone, stark 
melancholy over all. So came that 
cold, gray, desolate time which we 
refer to as the “Turn of tlie Year.” 

There was only one hope lor the 
sad old world, so gray and unlovely 
und lifeless hope that the decent 
snow would come with its soft wind¬ 
ing sheet to cover the unsightliness 
of the dead face. Surely there Would 
be snow for Christmas. ” A green 
Christmas make3 a full churchyard ” 
the old people said grimly, but no one 
could truthfully call this a green one, 
it was only gray and leaden.

Stcfaussoii Endeavors To I lemon- 
si rat That All .Meat Diet Does 
Not Cause Scurvy 
Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Arctic ex¬ 
plorer, has thrived for two weeks on 
an all-meat diet, his physician an¬ 
nounced in New York. The explorer 
is under observation at Bellevue Hos¬ 
pital. where he is endeavoring to de¬ 
monstrate that an all-meat diet does 
not cause scurvy. 

Dr. Clarence W. Lieb explained that 
the explorer’s general condition lias 
remaned excellent since he began 
tlie experiment, which will'be contin¬ 
ued another fortnight. 


A Scotsman and an Aberdonian 
were on top of an omnibus. The 
Scotsman suggested that they should 
speak to a girl they knew sitting in 
front of them. “ No, wait till she has 
paid her fare,” said the Aberdonian.

One- \lined English Musician Ha.o* 
Piano Willi Left Hand 

When Mr. Douglas Fox, the mu¬ 
sician, lost his light arm in the Great 
War, his friends thought lie would 
never be able to play the piano again. 

The gallant man determined that 
fie would play and has developed ho 
amazing a te< hnique, that when lie 
recently gave a recital, in England, 
music critics said: “The iirst sensa¬ 
tion is of surprise Unit a single hand 
can cover the keyboard so effectively 
and do so much; but soon we forgot 
the limitations under which lie is 
working, and think only of the deli¬ 
cate and thoughtful music ho makes.” 

The man who gave this remarkable 
recital is now director of music at 
Bradtield College, -England.

SYNOPSIS 


At the next meeting of the hoard

tel will be discussed. That "Ray¬ 
mond has need of n modern hotel 
cannot be denied. And it is firm¬ 
ly believed that such an hotel (not 
too large) would he a paying prop-, 
osition. It would of necessity he 
a thoroughly high class hotel with 
prices rathei high, hut with ser¬ 
vice and accomodations fully worth 
prices charged Tin* word "cheap'’ 
should not 1»»* associated wit h such 
an hotel Some have expressed the 
opinion that a bar would be essen¬ 
tial to making an hotel a paying 
proposition In-re. In the ease of a 
cheap hotel this would probably he 
true. Bui the Recorder believes 
that in tin* case of an hotel operat 
ed on lines of proper dignity, ser¬ 
vice, and accomodations a bar is 
not necessary. By the word "dig¬ 
nify \\ e do not tin an a crowd of 
Insfers squatting on the floor in

we do not mean that the spuds

Invited to se^ Montreal by the 
hotels and the tourist and conven¬ 
tion bureau of the city, 75 members 
of the Massachusetts Hotel Men’s 
Association spent a week-end re¬ 
cently there and were given a royal 
reception. As their jfresident, Emil 
Coulon, said, “We came to sell New 
England to Montreal, but you have 
sold Montreal and Quebec province 
to us." 

Dufing the usually quiet immi¬ 
gration months of December and 
January the Canadian Colonization 
Association colonized 76 families 
who took up land to the extent of 
22,734 acres. In 1927 the Canadian 
Pacific Railway, through its land 
department and its subsidiary (the 
C. C. A.) plated 2,694 families on 
Canadian farms, this including 626 
families averaging 5 persons to the 
credit of the Association and 1,529 
families on C. P. R. lands. 

The movement of British youth 
to Canada promises to be consider¬ 
ably heavier than usual, due to new 
arrangements made with the Brit¬ 
ish Government. Ontario is taking 
500 boys, Manitoba 50 and the Mari¬ 
time Provinces and Saskatchewan 
an indeterminate number, while 

■oitm hundred, mrrs to l«- moved by 

private organizations. In all it is 
estimated some 2,000 boys will prob¬ 
ably be brought out under the new 
scheme this summer. 

Another body of sportsmen are 
finding Montreal and Fas* 0 -" Can¬ 
ada good places in winter as 
well as summer. lav Apptuacn.aa 
Mountain Club, of Boston, picked 
the best period of the winter sea¬ 
son to spend a week in the Lauren- 
tians mainly devoted to ski-ing, but 
with sleighing, dog-mushing and 
tobogganing thrown in. It was the 
first time they had ever visited this 
district in winter and they are go¬ 
ing to repeat it. 

Resignation of Colonel Walter 
Maughan as Canadian Pacific 
Steamship Passenger Traffic Man¬ 
ager has been followed by the ap¬ 
pointment of William Baird, who 
was assistant European Manager 
of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 
London, Eng. Mr. Baird, whose 
appointment is effective March 1, 
joined the Allan Line steamship 
company at Glasgow as junior j 
clerk in 1905 and came into C. P. 

I service when that company took 
over the Allan Line in 1916. 

j _ 

Bee keeping in Saskatchewan , 
made marked progress in 1927, there | 
being an increase of 45 per cent in 
the number of colonies over those 
of 1926 and an increase of 191 per¬ 
cent in the 1927 honey crop ovei 
that of the prev ; ous year. The num 
her of spring colonies in 1927 was 
3.803 which increased to 5,962 by 
the fall count. The production of 
comb honey for the year was 64,042 
pounds and of extracted honey 436. 
932 pounds, making an average pro 
duction |>er colony of 148 Vk pounds. 

Airplanes are now being used to 
herd vast numbers of rein»k r ii. 
the big A ret ft stock farms, accord 
ing to Ralph Loinen, pioneer of tin 
reindeer industry of Alaska. “It’s 
a new idea and it’s not being prac¬ 
ticed regularly, but herding by air¬ 
planes sc tii feasible,” said Mr. 
homt-n. “Our head herdsman vent 
out recently and in two hours ac- 
:i compliahod us much a^ would other¬ 
wise have required a week with -ix 
t men. There is nooni for 12.000,000 
reindeer in t h< northern tun;! a of 
Canada fend such a herd would t>c 
worth $50,000,000. It could be lone 
in 60 years if Canada started now 
! n a modest way.” 


r orty-flve years of faithful ser¬ 
vice to the Canadian Pacific Rail¬ 
way were honored recently when 
(1 urge A. Fowler, former lumber 
*.tu of the company, was present¬ 
ed ! y George Stephen, freight traf¬ 
fic mnnager, with a purse of gold, 
contributed by Mr. Fowler’s col¬ 
league? in the railway’s freight 
traffic offices east of Chicago in 
the l nited States and east of Fort 
William in Canada.

Fergus.—A special train of 35 
cars left for Vancouver and pointa 
on route the other day with over 
11.000 consignments of washing 
machines and bam equipment. This 
trainload, the largest of its kind 
ever to originate in Canada, is from 
a Fergus firm and was handled by 
the Canadian Pacific Railway as a 
special train, stopping at Fort Wil¬ 
liam, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Calgary, 
Edmonton and other centres. Nearly 
all the consignments were for rural 
communities. 

Immigrants are beginning to pour 

through the port of Saint John and 

Montreal en route to Ontario and 

the West. With the arrival of 

Canadian Pacific liners Montclare 

and Montnairn recently, in the 

neighborhood of 600 settlers of the 

best type have been distributed. 

Among these were British farm 

laborers going to selected farms 

under the scheme of the Canada 

Colonization Association. «"6 many

Toronto.—In accordance with hit 
promise to Western Ontario tobacco 
growers, Hon. W. R. Motherwell 
V>q* appointed a commission to in¬ 
vestigate ail phases of the tobacco- 
growing industry, for which two of 
the commissioners have already been 
named. The probe will extend to 
$very phase of the industry, from 
seeding to marketing, and one of the 
most important features will bo tho 
effort to ascertain the best method 
of operating a proposed co-operativt 
marketing pool. 

Port Arthur.—Eventually Canada 
will produce a 1,000,000,000 bushel 
crop of wheat and will have no diffi¬ 
culty in finding a market for it, 
predicted Hon. T. A. Crerar, Presi¬ 
dent and General Manager of the 
United Grain Growers Limited, and 
formerly Minister of Agriculture 
for the Dominion. Referring to the 
development of Western Canada, Mr. 
Crerar said there was no country in 
the world where so great a develop¬ 
ment had taken place in the past 
few years and there was no country 
having such great possibilities. 

In order to meet the increasing 
popularity of the Canadian Rockies 
among tourists, and also to aid in 
I developing transcontinental travel, 
the Canadian Pacific Railway will 
run a quintette of trains across the 
Dominion from Montreal, Toronto 
and Chicago to the Rockies, Van¬ 
couver and Victoria this coming 
summer. These trains will be “The 
Trans-Canada Limited”, “The Im¬ 
perial”, the Toronto-Vancouver Ex¬ 
press, and “The Mountaineer and 
“Soo-Pacific Express” from Chicago. 
The Trans-Canada and the Moun¬ 
taineer will be all-sleeping-car 
trains. 

Vancouver.—“Maizie,” the famous 
white Leghorn hen owned by the 
University of British Columbia 
farm, officially known as Hen No. 6, 
the world’s champion layer with 351 
eggs in a year, is proving a sub¬ 
stantial revenue producer for the 
University of British Columbia. 
Last year the sale of pedigreed 
poultry stock from Maizie returned 
to the University $2,225. Two of 
her cockerel fetched $500 each when 
sold to Ohio poultry raisers, while 
another cockerel sold in New Jersey 
for $300. The University receipts 
on sale of pedigreed British Colum¬ 
bia stock totalled $7,225 for . thfe 
year.
